Consensus document on the standard of coronary angioscopy examination and assessment from the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics
AbstractCoronary angioscopy (CAS) is a unique diagnostic device that allows direct visualization of the vascular luminal surface in living patients. CAS contributes to elucidate the pathology of coronary artery disease. This consensus document provides a standard for CAS examination and assessment.

A contemporary review of clinical significances of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions, with some Japanese insights
AbstractThe clinical “significance” of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO-PCI) has been evaluated. In the beginning, the effects on clinical endpoints were investigated by comparisons between cases of success and failure of CTO-PCI, which mostly demonstrated better long-term outcomes in the successful cases. Similarly, improvement of cardiac function or wall motion was proven by serial observational studies. Accordingly, several prospective randomized trials (RCTs), which should confirm such accumulated potential benefits, were recently conducted by comparison with stu dies of ...

Influence of dual antiplatelet therapy duration on neointimal condition after second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation
In conclusion, interrupting DAPT 9 months after second-generation DES implantation did not affect the development of in-stent thrombus, neointimal proliferation or stent strut coverage at 18-month follow-up compared with continuing DAPT. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

Angiographic evaluation of radial artery injury after transradial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention
AbstractThe transradial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (TRA-PCI) has been increasingly gaining popularity in clinical practice. However, its association with risk for long-term radial artery injury has not been yet thoroughly defined. We retrospectively examined the patients undergoing radial artery angiography (RAG) after TRA-PCI to determine the incidence and risk factors of radial artery injury. The study included 558 patients undergoing follow-up radial artery angiography at 12  month after TRA-PCI. Radial artery injury occurred in 140 patients (25%) with 3 distinct morphological patterns: focal radia...

Japanese multicenter registry evaluating the antegrade dissection reentry with cardiac computerized tomography for chronic coronary total occlusion
AbstractRecently, antegrade dissection re-entry (ADR) with re-entry device for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved to become one of the pillar techniques of the hybrid algorithm. Although the success rate of the device is high, it could be improved. We sought to evaluate the current trends and issues associated with ADR in Japan and evaluate the potential of cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for ADR procedure. A total 48 patients with CTO suitable for ADR evaluated by baseline conventional angiography and CCTA were enrolled. Procedural success and technical succes...
